Marama Awhi – Embrace of the Moon
This is a 40mm Porohita, which I’ve named Marama Awhi – meaning “Embrace of the Moon.” This piece is inspired by the peaceful beauty of the moon as it peeks through clouds, symbolising calm, balance, and connection with the natural world.
Carved from deep green Pounamu, the stone has stunning pale green patches and swirling patterns, much like clouds covering the night sky. At 10mm thick, it has a wonderful weight, giving it a solid presence when worn. The white bar lashing across the top provides a striking contrast, highlighting the natural beauty of the stone.
For me, Marama Awhi represents a sense of peace and clarity, just like the moon brings light in the darkest hours. This piece is perfect for those who feel connected to nature and find calm in its beauty.
